Guys, this is 20 year old swenson nővér speaking

Guys, this is 20 year old Swenson Nővér speaking and I need to inform you all that turning 20 instantly changed me and I am now an adult and do adulty things and am super mature, successful, you know, adulty things. 

This week was not far from fantastic!! Tuesday and Wednesday we had splits with the Dunaújváros sisters, which means I got to spend my birthday with MY FAVORITE HUMAN BEING Sister Greenwood. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better day. We had a lesson with Rita (Olivers mom who is getting baptized) and the lesson went amazing, she is just so ready for this gospel and for this change, and then they surprised me with cake and a necklace. :') We then went straight to this amazing family's house the vasváryék to watch the world wide mission broadcast! so nice of the apostles to do a whole broadcast just for my birthday!!!! But we got some crazy news and they switched up the missionaries daily schedule, and our key indicators so life is gettin crazy over hereeee! They also surprised me with cake, and then we had to say goodbye to Máté (their son who is moving to Scotland) really sad, but just a great day all in all.

We met again with Fanny and Adrienn to answer all their questions about the plan of salvation, and talk about christ is the center of Heavenly Fathers perfect plan. It was kinda crazy because fanny had never even heard about the atonement, so we had to really break it up very simply, and it was amazing to just simply testify that God loves us. Christ loves us, and that is simply why he atoned for our sins. In the missionary broadcast they talked a lot about how simple this gospel is. Elder Bednar said "living the gospel is not that easy, but understanding the gospel is not that difficult." 

 Fanny is the coolest person ever and she was showing us her drawings cause she sells them, and there was a lot of star wars, and I just so happened to have a lightsaber in my bag that I recieved from Elder Thomas and Elder Norris, so you could say that me and fanny get along, or that I am a freaking weirdo, whatever you think fits better haha

I just am so beyond thankful for all of the amazing people I have met here on my mission. my companions, my districts, other missionaries, the members, my investigators, my mission president, his wife. I was thinking about how grateful I am for every single one of them this week, and it made me just even more thankful for my mission. I dont believe in coincidences, I believe that God puts each and every single person in your life because he knows you. He knows how to answer your prayers, and he knows what you need. I am thankful for that. I love him, and Ilove this gospel, and I love my mission.
